yup, gotta have irrigation for the golf course

gotta keep the greens soft and the fairways green

The Midwest has tornadoes, the east and Southeast have hurricanes, Colorado is sitting on top of radiation, and must of the West will be kaput once the Yellowstone Caldera goes boom.

All things equal, the earthquakes aren't much worse than the rest of it.

Well, there is nothing in the Midwest, East or Southeast that will cause the locations to be kaput, I wouldn't call that equal.


Screw Colorado. It's too high.

The lowest point in CO is 3300 feet above sea level as I recall.

That's still very high. Too high.

The issue in Atlanta is it has no geographic boundaries.  My cousin bought a house 45 miles from downtown 30 years back because they could get an acre wooded lot and very nice house for not too much.  He drives to work each day, gets up at 4:30 AM to miss traffic.  But they have a nice affordable house in Dacula (real name).

I grew up about 12 miles out, dad drove downtown every day, back then we were on the outskirts of suburbia, had a half acre or so wooded lot with very private back yard.

And the State built more freeways of course and widened the existing ones to enable folks to live further out, for a time.

The usual story.  Hard rail is just too expensive to expand.  And some folks won't ride MARTA because there are people there who are not like them.

I'll just stay away from the big cities

any city over 100,000 is too big - the metro area here is less than 100,000 and I wouldn't live or work in the middle of it.

town I live in is less than 500 folks, but it's less than 15 minutes from the edge of the 100,000 folks

Midwest doesn't have too many tornadoes. I lived in Michigan most my life, never even saw a tornado once. And the tornadoes that did hit in Michigan that you heard about were all little baby ones like F0-1. Not the massive F4/F5's that destroy enitre towns. That's more the southwest's deal. As far as the midwest goes, it's the bone crushing cold, snow, ice, sleet, and miserable grey sky with zero sun and the cold rainy days where it rains ALL f'ing day that make that place unlivable. In Florida it rains hard for an hour or two and then the sun is back out and everything is dry in an hour. Never rains all motherf'n day like it does in Michigan. Like how the F does the rain just go ALL. DAY. LONG.

The hurricanes suck, but you have a couple weeks notice when one is going to possibly be in your vicinity. And you know several days before if it's gonna come close to you or not. You know they are coming way before they come. Shutter up, park the car in the garage and hop on an airplane. Earthquakes? You've got zero warning for that shit. Out of the blue, BAM. No thanks.
